Ok troops, we're getting back in gear -- chapter 10 is a nice and heavy place to start

First reactions... this chapter requires a second look on my part. I just wanted to post to get the conversation going.

The words of this teaching is strong and leaves me with both resolve and questions. It's about putting God first. Jesus tells the disciples to go and to travel light.

"Don't make a plan. Don't book your airline tickets. Don't plan it out and get the discount rates. Just go. Find someone who will help you along the way. Be involved with people and in their lives as you travel. Trust. Trust me. Trust people." He says.

"But that's dangerous." I say.

"Right. I expect you to live dangerously. I know what's coming and you may suffer. But I am with you." He says

This is kind of hard to swallow. We are taught to plan and to "take control" of our lives. How do we just "go?" What does that look like anyways? Where are we supposed to go now?

And WHAT is going on the second half of the chapter?? I'm going to have to read some other translations... there's all this business of war and satan and stuff.
